The night Meghan Wren got stranded byfloodwaters and had to sleep in her car, sheknew it was time for a reckoning.

She had beendriving to herwaterfronthome along theDelaware Bay inSouth Jersey. Asshe crossed thewide marsh inthe dark, the wa-ter rose quickly.

TIÉBÉLÉ, Burkina Faso — On therocky ground outside the Kollo min-ing village near the border betweenBurkina Faso and Ghana,about 100 people are work-ing, 30 or so of them chil-dren. They smash bouldersinto pebbles and pebblesinto grit with primitive hammersand sticks. They haul buckets ofwell water up the hillside and, pour-ing this water into shallow pansfilled with rock and dirt, they swirl

the muddy mix, looking in the siltfor tiny flecks of gold.

Nearby, a small hill rises from thisbarren gold field, and atop this hillare hand-dug shafts that plunge 150

feet into the ground. Joseph,15, and Germain, 12, lead theway down into the mine, grip-ping knotted ropes, findingfootholds and squeezing past

support timbers in the yard-widepits. They get to the bottom after 20minutes and silently begin to fill buck-ets of ore to be hauled up by rope.
